Expert Answers about Chevrolet Electric Winch


  • Wiring and Battery Current Requirements for Electric Boat Winches
  • An electric winch will draw a substantial amount of power from its battery, usually a lot more than the 25-amp rating for the Hopkins 12-Volt Power Inverter Adapter # HM11147650 that you referenced. For instance, Dutton-Lainson StrongArm Electric Marine Winch # DL25215 draws as much as 70-amps. Bulldog Electric Winch # BDW15020 draws as much as 340-amps at full load. This is why winches should always be wired with a dedicated battery connection using a heavy-gauge winch installation kit...

  • Will the Dutton-Lainson Winch Mounting Plate # DL24059 Fit a Trax Electric Winch
  • I am not familiar with the Trax Electric Winches so I am not sure what their mounting plates look like. However, the Dutton-Lainson winch mounting plate # DL24059 has the top 2 holes spaced 2-1/2" apart. Then the third hole in the middle is down 3" from the center line between the top two holes. If your Trax 3500 Electric Winch plate has the same dimentions, this mounting plate will fit your winch. I attached a diagram outlining the dimensions for your convenience.

  • Will Superwinch LT2000 Electric Winch # 1120210 Work on an TMS Electric Mobility Chair Carrier
  • The electric winch you referenced, Superwinch LT2000 Electric Utility Winch # 1120210, is a remote-control-equipped 12V winch with a 50-foot wire rope that has a line pull rating of 2000-lbs and a line speed of 2.5-feet/minute. This winch has more than enough capacity to pull your 250-lb Pronto electric mobility chair up the ramp of your mobility carrier. According to my contact at Superwinch, a better choice is a winch with a braking system, such as the Terra 2500, part # SW1125220. This...

  • How to Choose the Correct Electric Winch for a Small Car Trailer
  • Choosing the correct electric trailer winch for your needs is a bit of a tricky task. The weight capacity of a winch will be affected by many factors such as the weight of the object, angle at which the object is being pulled, the number of layers there is on the drum, in addition to static vs rolling loads. The angle at which the car will need to be pulled up the trailer in addition to layers of wire on the drum will be offset by the rolling load therefore a 4,000 lb winch should be...

  • How To Choose The Correct Electric Winch For A Boat Trailer
  • You are correct in that an electric winch listed weight capacity refers to it's line pull strength. A common ratio for determining your winch load capacity is 2:1. For example, a 2,000-lb boat would require a 1,100-lb winch. There are extenuating factors, however, that will determine the appropriate winch size for your purposes. The ratio can be stretched to 3:1 in instances when the trailer in use has high-quality rollers and is most commonly used on ramps where boats float most of the...

  • Is The Dutton-Lainson TW4000 StrongArm Electric Winch A Suitable Replacement For DL1100A Hand Winch?
  • In most cases the Dutton-Lainson TW4000 StrongArm Electric Winch # DL25200 can be used to replace the Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch # DL15103. Both these have mounting holes which run down the center of the mounting plate for attaching to most boat towers. And while your hand winch has a smaller footprint the 7" handle is still going to give you a good representation of the overall size of the electric winch. As long as your handle has clearance you should not have any issues with fitment...

  • Can an Electric Winch be Used on a 1987 Kawasaki KLF 300 Bayou 2x4
  • There is not a custom winch mount for your model ATV, however if you have a 2 inch trailer hitch receiver like # C45006, you could use a Winch Receiver Mount like # BDW20155. With a mount combination like this, you could absolutely use an electric winch. My recommendation is the Bulldog Winch Powersports Series ATV Winch # BDW15014 which will work very well for your application and give you easy to use controls at your handlebars. I've attached a video to assist and you can see the prices...

  • Will the Curt Trailer Hitch Electric Winch Mount Plate Work with a Ramsey 15000 Winch
  • We do not carry Ramsey winches, but from what I could find on the Ramsey 15000 winch it uses a 10" x 4.5" mounting pattern. As long as that is correct, then the Curt Trailer Hitch Electric Winch Mount Plate # C31010 would work for your winch. I recommend that you measure the bolt mounting pattern on your winch to confirm.

  • Best Electric Boat Trailer Winch and How to Determine Capacity
  • I would be happy to help you! When it comes to choosing an electric winch or any winch for a boat trailer, there are a few general rules we can use. The boat-size-to-winch capacity is generally 2 to 1. With good rollers and short winching distances, the ration can increase to 3 to 1 and with wooden bunks and long winching distances, you will want to reduce the capacity to 1 to 1. Since you have plastic sides instead of carpet you will probably be in the 2 to 1 range. I recommend the Dutton-Lainson...

  • Can Boat Winch Cable be Swapped Out for Strap
  • It's very possible for you to swap out your cable for a strap on your electric boat winch, but you first need to make sure that your winch is rated for use with a strap as some haven't been tested and approved for this. You should be able to verify this in your instructions/manual, but if you can't find it just let me know what winch you have and I can help you figure this out. For example, the 3K Dutton-Lainson StrongArm Electric Winch # DL24870 has a 7/32" diameter x 25' long cable but...

  • Trailer and Vehicle Electric Winch Wiring Kit, # BDW20207, is designed to work on a vehicle with a trailer mounted winch. But you could use it if the winch is mounted at the front or rear of the truck, just not both at the same time without an additional kit. I have included a link to a video showing a typical installation for you. I have also included a link to our FAQ article that covers different ways to wire an electric winch.
